Where Yvonne is most common

Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Yvonne has been most common in District of Columbia (2.3×), New Mexico (2.2×), and Hawaii (2×), and least common in Nevada (0.46×).

151,213 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
